The University of Bedfordshire is a public university, situated in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
It is spread across six campuses: four in Bedfordshire and two campuses in Buckinghamshire: Aylesbury (for students studying Nursing and Midwifery), and Milton Keynes.
It is a modern university that believes in nurturing students to become educated, employable and entrepreneurial global citizens. They offer a wide range of degrees and courses tailored to meet the needs of their students and providing them with transformational opportunities through access to an excellent educational experience.
On the 7th December 2021, we joined Dr Louise Grant and Professor Gail Kinman for the launch of their SCHORD diagnostic tool and workbook.
These tools are to be used by the social care leaders of Buckinghamshire for supporting the workforce's wellbeing and the promotion of organisational resilience.
The event was hosted online with the diagnostic tool set to be released in January 2022.
